Louisville’s Lamar Thomas takes shot at alma mater Miami Hurricanes

Lamar Thomas didn’t play his college ball at Sun Life Stadium, but he was a Hurricane.

So it was a bit of a surprise to see him taking a shot at his alma mater’s game-day experience.

In a recruiting pitch on his Twitter account, the Louisville wide receivers coach posted the following image of Monday’s “blackout” at Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium contrasted with a mostly empty Sun Life Stadium, possibly a scene from a UM spring game.

The image, captured by Cardinals blogger Mark Blankenbaker and then tweeted, was posted to Thomas’ private Twitter account after 11 a.m. Wednesday.

Thomas played for UM from 1989-92 and was formerly a color commentator for Hurricanes games. He was inducted into the UM Sports Hall of Fame in 2014.

All’s fair in love, recruiting and the ACC.

Update: Thomas also had this response to former Canes receiver Michael Irvin.
